We're set to talk to BP as he previews North Alabama among other things:

  • Bruce opens talking about how good of a shooting team they are; they're shooting 42% from deep, so.
  • They average about 12-13 forced turnovers per game and also don't turn it over
  • Asked if Jahki and Ja'Heim will play Monday: "They're at practice today."
  • On taking teams seriously: "If we had any letdown it might have been @ App State. That was one of the few times in the last several years where we got beat when we were supposed to win that game. And I think the returning guys recognized that... we respect our opponents. It happens to us less because we have respect for our opponents."
  • Pearl also added they prepped harder for Vermont than they did for Houston
  • "My thinking originally bringing a freshman in is, alright, what position is he going to be most effective at." He added that he initially thought it'd be easier for him to be a scorer but he's too good with the ball in his hands to take the ball out of his hands.
  • Speeding UNA up: "You have to be able to win at a fast pace and have to be able win at a slower pace."
That's all for Bruce
